Cardinals vs. Braves Betting Pick for Friday July 19

The Cardinals are 4-2 in the last six games of this series. Both teams are playing decent enough of late.  St. Louis and Atlanta have records above the .500 mark.

But what we like here is the Over 7.5 (down from 8).

Cardinals Pitching

Sonny Gray (9-6, 3.34 ERA)

Gray has pitched well against these Braves, allowing just 20 hits in 96 at bats, 8 RBIs, 2 home runs (.208). Even better, Adam Duvall has really cut into the record with his 3 RBI's but has not played above .200 this season.  Matt Olson is the other batter who seems to have Gray's number but is just .229 on the season, though he does have 13 homers. 

Braves Pitching

Spencer Schwellenbach (3-4, 4.43 ERA)

In 20 at bats, Schwellenbach has been roughed up by the Cardinals.  The sampling is small enough though.

Keep in mind that Schwellenbach is coming off of two consecutive wins, so he may be due for a bad outing.

This is an Over series in Atlanta.  The last three played here have resulted in 13 or more runs.  Just not on Sunday as two solid starters are coming off losses and Max Fried of Atlanta has pitched well against the Cards.

Two of the best in the biz are on the Over here.
